The Beta Reticuli system was visible from Earth in the constellation Reticulum. It was approximately 101 light years from Sol.

In 3196, this system's position was labeled on a Federation star chart which was displayed on the main viewscreen of the USS Athena bridge. (SA: "Ko'Zeine")

Later that year, during the Omega-47 crisis, the location of Beta Reticuli was depicted on star charts and readouts used across several locations on the USS Athena to locate, monitor, and respond to the Omega-47 mines laid by the Venari Ral. (SA: "Rubincon")
